Immigrating from Holland to America as a young child, I understand the value of home ownership, financial responsibility, and big picture plans. Then, with the years spent as Real Estate Agent and Brokerage support, I witnessed the anxiety and frustrations many experienced stemming from the Mortgage process.


It made such an impression on me that the combination of both inspired my need to create a different lending experience for my Clients. I am committed to providing : personal care of their personal goals and concerns; loan products to best fit both; discussion so Clients are confident in their Real Estate decision; cutting edge Mortgage technology for a streamlined and efficient experience.


My team's core foundation is built on: Integrity, Value, Efficiency, Flexibility, and step by step care with every Client's interaction from introductions to Closing congratulations and beyond.


Positively different... and ready to assist you!
